Christina has a husband who's willing to make the ultimate sacrifice: "Will has the ability to share the remote, which makes him very unique," she says with a laugh. Joking aside, Christina, 33, says his dedication reaches far beyond their couch time. "Shortly before Will and I got married, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer," Christina says. "He never hesitated to spend time with her and help with her care. When she became terminally ill, he drove her to her doctor's appointments, ran errands, and kept the house clean. He was an extension of me, and I was so grateful." William is also a hands-on dad, which lightens the load for Christina, who works full-time. "He once went to the Mother's Day celebration at our daughter's school, because I had to work and he didn't want her to not have a parent there," she says. And while the first thing she noticed about her husband was his deep, almond-shaped eyes ("I could stare at them all day!"), she says it's his positivity and optimism that make him sexy. "He has the brightest smile ever. It makes you happy just being around him."

Randi-Ellen knew her boyfriend of six months, Adam, was The One when she saw him dance—with her grandma. "She was suffering from dementia, so fragile and unsure on her feet," says Randi-Ellen, 31. "But Adam exuded so much warmth and compassion in making her smile and feel happy." That's enough to make anyone's heart melt, but Adam's endearing qualities don't stop there. As a dad to three girls under the age of 2, he unflinchingly tackles all manner of daddy duties. "He deals with diaper blowouts, screaming babies, monsters under a crib, and spit-ups in the middle of the night," says Randi-Ellen. "Nothing gives him more joy than seeing his girls grow and be happy." That counts for his grown-up girl, too. "When I was on bed rest with my second pregnancy, Adam wrote me a little note every single day and delivered it to my bed alongside a delicious breakfast before he left for work," says Randi-Ellen. As a teacher, Adam is also passionate about the job he does and the teens whose lives he touches every day. "I've never seen anyone get up at 5 a.m., whistling all the way to the shower like my husband does. He loves working with kids, and helping them strive for their goals and be better people."
